STATE OF THE 'E: I Have A List!

[Rated_R(ob)KO]

**THIS BLOG IS WAITING TO BECOME APPROVED! I HAVE POSTED IT HERE LIKE USUAL FOR EARLY FEEDBACK!**


Okay, again I have been side tracked like a goldfish bumping its head on the glass one to many times. I'm sorry. The other 4 FCW blogs are on their way, I promise. But, more things come along my way to ensure that I keep myself busy scratching my head at how insane some of these Professional Wrestlers egos can be.

Recently, the Interwebs EXPLODED because Kurt "freakin" Angle made a statement about where he was placed on:

THE TOP 50 WWE SUPERSTARS OF ALL-TIME

Mind you... the list was created in friggin' 2010 and he's bitching about it now? Really? Really? REALLY? Yes Miz, he really is. I mean, here's their list:


#50 – Killer Kowalski
#49 – Batista
#48 – "Ravishing" Rick Rude
#47 – Bob Backlund
#46 – Dory Funk Jr.
#45 – Jeff Hardy
#44 – Nick Bockwinkel
#43 – Kane
#42 – Sgt. Slaughter
#41 – Jack Brisco
#40 – Big Show
#39 – Jake "The Snake" Roberts
#38 – "Superstar" Billy Graham
#37 – Junkyard Dog
#36 – Gorilla Monsoon
#35 – "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers
#34 – Kurt Angle
#33 – Mick Foley
#32 – "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka
#31 – The Iron Sheik
#30 – Pat Patterson
#29 – Randy Orton
#28 – "Classie" Freddie Blassie
#27 – The Fabulous Moolah
#26 – "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase
#25 – Chris Jericho
#24 – Bruno Sammartino
#23 – Hulk Hogan
#22 – Terry Funk
#21 – Lou Thesz
#20 – Jerry "The King" Lawler
#19 – Edge
#18 – N/A
#17 – Dusty Rhodes/Ric Flair (Tie)
#16 – John Cena
#15 – "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig
#14 – "Macho Man" Randy Savage
#13 – Gorgeous George
#12 – Triple H
#11 – Eddie Guerrero
#10 – "Rowdy" Roddy Piper
#9 – Rey Mysterio
#8 – Andre The Giant
#7 – Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat
#6 – Harley Race
#5 – The Rock
#4 – Bret "The Hitman" Hart
#3 – Stone Cold Steve Austin
#2 – The Undertaker
#1 – Shawn Michaels


Kurt is #34 there. When you look at everyone else there, how dare he complain? In all honesty, he should be glad he's even on the list. After he betrayed VKM like that a few years ago, he's lucky he's even there. It's true, It's DAMN true! Those other people after him (#33-#1) have done a ton more for the business in general than he ever has. Yes Kurt, we understand you're a REAL Wrestler, and you're fantastic at it. The point is, this list is biased. Big time.

It serves the WWE's corporate agenda to soothe their ego. You know what's fun about lists? ANYONE CAN MAKE ONE! Here's my list of my personal favorite Professional Wrestlers of all time:


"Rowdy" Roddy Piper
CM Punk
Chris Jericho
Shawn Michaels
Dusty Rhodes
Mick Foley
Sting
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin
Triple H
Chris Benoit

Bret Hart
Daniel Bryan (Danielson)
Big Show
UnderTaker
Ric Flair
"Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig
"Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase
Edge
PAC (Not X)
The Rock

Andre The Giant
BxB Hulk
Ultimo Dragon
Alberto Del Rio
AJ Styles
Terry Funk
Kurt Angle
Goldberg
Raven
Harley Race

"The Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers
The Iron Sheik
Bob Backlund
Sabu
Crimson (I know he's new but, that dude can go!)
Christian
Jushin "Thunder" Liger
Dynamite Kid
Killer Kowalski
Bruno Sammartino

Austin Aries
Tyler Black
Owen Hart
Brian Pillman
Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat
"Macho Man" Randy Savage
Arn Anderson
"Ravishing" Rick Rude
"The King Of Old School" Steve Corino
William Regal


Do some people out there probably think it sucks or that someone should be somewhere they're not? Of course they do but you know what? They can f*** off. It's my list. My opinion. MY OPINION! That's what is so fantastic about lists. Anyone can create one and they'll all be different. Angle may believe that he's the GREATEST OF ALL-TIME and he's right. In the world of WRESTLING, he's my number one guy. In PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING, nowhere near. At least he's #27 on mine though. But when ego gets hurt... this is the type of shit vommited from a keyboard:


“I was #34 of Wwe All time Greatest? Tell You what, take Me off the list. I’d rather not be on it, if I wasn’t top 5. Who Ranks Wrestlers?

I have never been More Insulted By Wwe top 50.#34 to Me Is a kick to the balls!Take Me out of ratings.please.U think fans will buy that crap

Shawn Michaels Deserves #1. He has Been Putting On Awesome Matches for Well Over 20something Years. I Will Not Complain. It is What It Is!!!”



After that of course, Mick Foley, who was #33 (One spot above Kurt) replied only as he could:


“I was pretty happy to be #33 on @WWE Greatest Stars of All Time. Guessing Kurt Angle wasn’t so pleased to be #34 – kind or a perfectionist.

My youmger kids are SO into trying to guess the top 10 stars of all-time. Really didn’t picture myself watching @WWE DVD’s a few years ago.”

Which apparently got Angle feeling like a box of douchebags because quickly after Foley tweeted his remark... Angle issued an apology:



Want to Apologize to Everyone that I disrespected with My Comments about Wwe's Rankings. I truly Am Proud to Be in Top 50. Thank U 2 Wwe.

I'm sure we'll get news that his Twitter was hacked again and that he's stuck in a patch of ice somewhere in September, in Arizona. Because he's bat shit crazy and that's how he rolls! Either way, it's no surprise that Angle wants in the 2012 Olymipcs and he wants one more run in THE 'E before its all said and done so please Mr. Angle... watch your freakin' mouth!

That's it for this one, comment, question, berate me, crucify me... just talk about it. I really want to hear everyone's thoughts here. Thanks a lot. Remember to check us out in all of the various forms of communications:

You know, with all the crap that Angle has spewed out these past few years it seems that he makes decisions and says things based on what he THINKS people will respond to it. Im sure he said that hoping that people would back him up on it and he would have a big head but when he started getting hate about it... he was like.. "Oh crap! I should prolly take that back" Orrrr go the ole hacking route.

Its sad because with someone with as much history and as strong a fanbase with people from all ages, you would think he'd have enough class to be a good person for the youngins who enjoy watching him on TNA or follow him on Twitter. Hell, my nephew is 11 and i wouldnt let him follow Angle if he had a twitter... dude is a self absorbed glory hog.

That wasn't Angle, his brother got on his account when he went to bed.

[jordan1995]

always love reading these ..another great job

[Tay Moran]

I agree that he should be higher on the list, but why is he bitching about a list made by a company he isnt even apart of? i mean he should be greatful hes on the list since hes a part of TNA the WWE's rival(ish) show.

Off topic: im not a hacker but if i hacked someones accout id proabably change thier password so they couldnt easily get it back in like two hours

[Rated_R(ob)KO]

Thanks for the feedback so far guys, means a lot. I definitely think we're gonna get a weird sob story from Kurt sometime this weekend. I mean hell, he just lied about UFC so, why not lie and bitch about something else as well? lol. What a damn tool. And it's such a shame because he truly is gifted in the ring.

Great post R(ob). As much as I think that WWE's list is the most biased wrestling list I have ever seen, I still won't say it's wrong. It's what the company wants to put across as what they feel is the order they want. We can disect it any way we want. (How come Moolah and no Trish or Lita. Hulk Hogan #23?! I don't even remember Harley Race wrestling in WWE. How come no Warrior, Tito Santana et al?) Complaining and bitching about it won't change. The problem that I have is that I don't think that it should be for WWE to decide the list. They should have held a legit poll. They should announce the poll starting at Wrestlemania 28 and announce the list of the Top 50 vote getters at Wrestlemania 29. Of course, this would never happen bc who knows what kind of voting would actually happen (Zack Ryder #1 WWE Superstar of all time! WWWYKI) but i still think that it would be a better way to do it.

They're coming, I promise. I'm like a valley girl, I get attracted to shiny things (In this case, Kurt Angle's idiocy.) and just stay there for a minute. Then I see something else shiny and so on and so fourth. It happens. I apologize. I'm sorry. :(

I'm still wondering who #18 is, I'm thinking Beniot but they didnt wanna post the name still not a bad list, I disagree with of the choices but I wont get into that.

Great blog R(ob)

Dusty and Ric were tied for the #17 spot so they just didn't do a #18 weird enough lol.

Weird enough inded lol

[wrestlingfan66513]

I noticed superstars that had tragic deaths (besides Benoit) got ranked pretty high. But they should have put Owen Hart on the list.

Martha would have tried to sue the crap out of WWE again. She does it every time they use Own Hart for ANYTHING relating to their product.

[thejman93]

Great blog my brotha. The "box of douchebags" reference put it over the top. :D

[SlammasterJ]

Great post first off. It is unfortunate that some of our favorite wrestlers are letting this list get the best of them. Kurt obviously was turned off by his rank and I believe Bret Hart (my all-time fav) as well. Overall, it is nothing more than an opinion. Many will agree and disagree with those listed and one would think that the adults would understand that the most. Nothing is set in stone.

I can only hope this post won't turn into yet another (Cena) argument.

[mika009]

Kurt was #34 and The Fabulous Moolah was # 27. Wonder if Kurt saw this and thought "I could beat her why is she ahead of me?"
